Augmedics develops xvision™ – an Augmented-Reality Head-Mounted Display for spine surgery. xvision allows surgeons to see the ... patient’s anatomy through skin and tissue, as if they had "X-Ray Vision". Based on Augmedics’ patented technology, the xvision system can project the patient’s anatomy, in real time, directly onto the surgeon’s retina, with surgical precision and outstanding depth perception. xvision will increase safety in surgery, reduce x-ray radiation, and facilitate minimally invasive procedures. xvision ensures that throughout any surgical procedure surgeons will be able to visually and accurately track all their surgical instruments well within their field of vision as they work. A combination of proprietary tracking algorithms, hardware, software, an image data merging unit, and specialized instruments safely guide the surgeon through the operating site during major and minor surgical procedures. With the xvision system, surgeons will benefit from close-up views of all the anatomical structures along the operation path, whether in open or percutaneous procedures. xvision allows surgeons to fully focus on what they see inside a patient’s anatomy, without having to look away to a monitor. Vital real-time information is therefore available to them in an intuitive manner and with no external distraction. The xvision system will also utilize an array of sensors and collect surgical information which, when connected to a big data system, will analyze and process the data, using profound learning algorithms to provide alerts and suggestions to assist the surgeon during the procedure. read more
